I have known for over a month that I was pregnant and it was SOOO hard not to say anything!! But after my first pregnancy ended in miscarriage, I wanted to make sure we heard a heartbeat until we told too many people. The whole experience was awful, but one of the hardest things to deal with after the miscarriage was people's reaction when they found out. We told so many people and though I had come to terms with the fact that it wasn't meant to be, I felt so bad for those that didn't know.
This time around, we took the same route as we had when I was pregnant with Tate. Wait until we hear the beautiful sound of a beating heart before we tell the masses! Everyone that knew was sworn to secrecy. I knew I didn't have anything to worry about because I have been fairly nauseous most of the time. It was an agonizing wait, but I wanted to be on the safe side.
Tuesday we got to see and hear that everything was fine. I waited until Wednesday to share since there were still some family members that needed to be notified first. Michael was a lot more cautious about telling people than I was. I guess the yucky nausea, that I was lucky enough to miss last time around, had me more confident!
My official due date is December 12. Since I am a repeat c-section and our hospital refuses to do a VBAC, my due date will actually be scheduled around 39 weeks. I considered switching to an area clinic that would allow me to try to give birth naturally, but I love my doctor. He was so good to us after my horrible experience with the first OB. He is highly disliked among the nurses at the hospital because his patients are #1 and he won't take anything less.
I feel like I'm already forgetting things! Any other questions I need to answer??

ReplyDeleteYAY! I'm still so happy for you!! We only had to keep the secret about 3 weeks before we told everyone, but I thought I was going to explode haha! It wasn't 2 days later after we told everyone that I started feeling the nausea. I'm a weanie when it comes to nausea so I'm glad it waited until afterwards.
ReplyDeleteWhatever you decide is for you that is what you should do. The important thing is that you have a doctor you like and trust.
Any names picked out already??
